> "In general Microsoft doesn't allow free DLC. You can ship bug fixes and there's a tiny amount of title update space you can shove content into, but large amounts of content are meant to be deployed through paid DLC"

That is incorrect - there are free Game Add-Ons (DLC) on Xbox LIVE for a number of games. There are also free Arcade (XBLA) games, by the way.

Here are some examples:

- Some Halo 3 maps/map packs

- Free tracks for Rock Band (several versions)

- Left 4 Dead Survival Pack

- Deadliest Warrior DLC

- Fable 3 free weapons/outfits

.. and a lot more. Disclaimer: I work there.

That is surprising to me, because I've personally heard developers complain that they weren't allowed to release free DLC. I apologize for the misinformation... I guess policies have changed?
